Given he's the asshole he is, Loki is likely to have his magic turned on and off repeatedly. I'll do my best to remember to update the current status of his magic on this post.
AS OF 9/20 LOKI'S MAGIC IS CURRENTLY: ON
Loki's magic is...pretty ill-defined in the movies, but I've done the best I can to summarize the things you canonically see him do (without the aid of Infinity Stones). Please let me know if any of them are things that 1) make you uncomfortable 100% of the time or 2) you think your character might be able to counteract or see through in some way. I've reduced some of the descriptions here down from what appear in his application, so check there for more info or feel free to ask me!
-Insubstantial illusions, usually doubles of himself. It is unclear how long he can maintain them, but in canon they are completely convincing until touched. It appears he's capable of projecting at least images of himself over quite long distances.
-Invisibility, including hiding his and others' movements from magical surveillance.
-Change his and others' appearances. This does not, in canon, appear to be only an illusion when it comes to his own appearance. Thor grabs him when he is disguised as Odin and this does not reveal the illusion in and of itself. This is why his username is shiftedshape-- it appears he is doing some kind of shapeshifting on himself. As for others, I think it's more like casting a glamor on them, and therefore they are more easily disrupted as it's more like a hologram over their person.
-Some kind of telekinetic magic. He uses this infrequently enough that I do not think it is very strong or precise.
-Ability to alter the minds of others using some kind of spell. Odin says Loki used a spell to make him forget who he is on Earth, and that this was an impressive bit of magic. Because it's specifically referred to as a spell, I am assuming it is something that takes preparation and effort.
-Can draw out memories, making people relive them and seeing them himself.
Here's a form if you'd like one!

Please list any kinds of magic your character would resist/see through/disrupt/etc. and why: Cloud has no particular ability to resist magic on his own, but he uses materia, some of which might mean he can reverse or resist certain effects. I've got a list of the materia he has at the bottom of this post in case that ever becomes relevant.
Is there anything else about your character I should know with regards to how Loki might use magic around them?: uhhhhhh he has a lot of traumatic memories, so Content Warning on drawing those out
also there's this, which I'm just gonna paste from his permissions:
MIMICRY: Suuure but be careful. Cloud has a lot of experience with hallucinations and delusions, some benign and some very much not, and if he's not sure what's going on he's likely to think that he's having some sort of psychotic break and become immensely distressed. There's a chance he may attack you, and Cloud attacking you is not a joke. If you're cool with that then go for it, live your best life. (If he's aware of what's happening he'll just be annoyed and slightly disturbed, it's specifically surprising him with any kind of doppelganger effect that's a bad idea.)
